My Expat package is dire - it was my 1st experience of required "expectations" etc.... and I did a lot to find out accomodation costs etc... before going.

It wasnt enough and the package which looked good sadly was far short of the mark.

I arrived in the country at 3am, was taken to a disgusting apartment (I have pictures). I was collected at 8am to start my day.

I had 2 weeks to locate an apartment - with very little help from the company.

The place I found to be reasonable and of expat standards (a pool gym 3 bedrooms etc...) was over my alotted housing allowance by some way. But there are some things in life you dont give up on and basics, after a hard day at the office is one of these.

Dont get me started on policy, allowances, etc....

For a "family" company, with such a huge standing in Qatar, working for them and the experience within the business was harrowing.

After 8 months of giving it my all, winning new business and making huge net profits I never recieved any thanks, kiss my ass or by your leave.
